Ismaili Recipes - This blog contains our family recipes; mainly it is Ismaili (Khoja) cuisine, our family lived in Uganda for 3 generations so we have a marked East African(Swahili, Lugandi) Influence in our cooking AND in our language!! (Kutchi / Cutchi / Gujarati.
In recent years with new additions to the family our cooking includes, English, Pakistani, Italian and Irish influences.

Traditionally boiled eggs are also included in this dish, if you want to you can include 4-6 boiled, shelled eggs, to be added at point 6. (when you add coconut). Makai Paka is similar, with sweetcorn instead of chicken and potatoes

One thing I do different with mine is "Smoke it" at the end. Take some lit coal in some foil. Place into the pot and then add two drops of oil on the coal and close the lid tightly for a few minutes. Will give a lovely barbeque flavour. Repeat twice if you want it extra smoky!
